CEforum: Topic 7

Backpacking in Europe

Trevi Fountain is built into the side of a building in Rome.
Legend has it that the more money you throw in the fountain, the faster you'll return to Rome.
[I would recommend Three Coins in the Fountain]

Make the most of a European backpacking trip...

About this time of year you begin to read stories and see advertisements on touring and backpacking in Europe. Last year, for example, a Duluth News Tribune article profiled how three women and four men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one backpacked in Europe: "For two weeks, we would travel and learn and explore Europe.... We were there to 'do Europe,' and 'do' it we did. Five cities in two weeks.... If you want to go next summer, now is the time to start planning." They then provide a "taste of our trip to help like-minded travelers plan," highlighting ROME--DAYS 1-3, VENICE--DAYS 4-6, PARIS--DAYS 7-9, BARCELONA--DAYS 10-11, and MADRID--DAYS 12-14.
